My uncle's 30w isticks took about 9-10 weeks once shipped from ft.

It seems like a crap shoot no matter what you pick. I have one coming tomorrow I ordered right before New Years. Another took well over a month and a half. I’ve never ordered anything with batteries though, and I know it can’t go by air. Guess it’ll depend on how fast that little old delivery man can paddle the boat.

Morning shinies

Been on an atty maintenance kick this week. It was the serpent mini's time today - threw in a build that makes the flavour just awesome

SS316l 26 gauge, 2.5mm 6-7 wraps. Came out at 0.4 ohms.

Came back from holidays so lazy... The Pyro is waiting for new cotton and the SQ for a new coil (popped when I was dry burning! Long time!). Still waiting...

Mods with integrated batteries can be shipped under normal circumstances. It's loose batteries like the 18650s that are an issue requiring special handling. If integrated battery items required lsnd/sea shipping only, how would you get a cellphone or laptop or any other Li battery containing product?

When it's installed it is supposed to have a battery management system in place and is then considered ok for transport.

My last FT order took 8 weeks, seems to be about average for me.

Started a conversation with a guy today who was vaping on a Rebel Dual battery squonker. It's actually changed my mind about 3D printed mods, very well put together and when you consider the cheap plastic on so many mods out there, the P12 is actually solid.

No way I'll ever fit all this into that!

I had a very similar case and roughly the same tools.

Don't give up hope.

I got a small/medium cash box for home.
Wire, cotton and large stuff I the bottom. Tools, drip tips, few rda etc in the cash tray.

For out and about I have a swiss gear bag and a vape tool roll I found at a b&m.

Triade with the Squid Industries Peacemaker RTA. Don’t own a lot of RTA’s, turned into a bit of a Profile Mesh fanboy! But really been enjoying this. Have a single SaddlehorseBlue’s Tsuka Framed Staple coil in it. Works well.

Hey, sorry, meant to ask is that the single coil Peacemaker 25mm or the dual 28mm ? I reckon the 28mm should fit very nice on this

It’s the single coil 25mm version. Nice RTA – vapes well. The smooth finish does make it a PIA to take apart though.

I think 28mm is the absolute maximum you can put on this device without overhang. The 28mm Peacemaker would look good on it.

Thanks for the Info

I do keep a small tackle box with the rest. This holds the daily rewicking necessities.

DHL for instance doesn't carry anything with batteries, I have to buy them locally. Most of the carriers do.

Another tool improvement... All of my coil legs are always crooked, and I often use pliers to straighten them. I saw some silicone tipped pliers but I can't find them, anybody knows if these will work?

ABS mods are quite sturdy. I have a Puma 200 in my wishlist.

Kind of sad today.

After joining the USModz FB group I found out he stopped making 2X700 mods. Then today he kind of went off the rails and posted he's not doing custom mods anymore, and not doing many hybrid mods - if he does any at all they'll be on waffles. Otherwise all purchases need to be done on the site and nothing custom being made anymore, save a few doors if time permits.

Looks like my new and most favourite regulated mod is doomed to live out its life alone.

I really wanted to get a stab one like this:

If you're still feeling crappy today and it's a slow one, it might be worth a double check with your regular doctor. Sometimes you can get fooled with these things and safer is always better.

I resist going to doctors, but this, I second. Ten years ago I had a fall that jolted something in my shoulder. After six years of pain, I finally went to the doctor and ended up having surgery that only partly helped. If I'd gone right away, I might not be sitting here with a heating pad on my shoulder.

Yet it is quicker shipping from China to get a phone than an internal battery mod for vaping. Guessing that may be a vendor choice due to the current US vaping environment.

I suffer from hip issues from birth. One of the first things I did in my new home was putting wooden floors everywhere, except for the kitchen and bathroom that have linoleum floors. A simple fall could make my hip prosthetics go bad and be bedridden for good. I even banished my tub, replacing it with a comfy, handicapped friendly shower. I miss getting baths, but I can't get out of the tub. Even with help.
As time goes by, even if you don't need to, you need to rethink your home. Helps a lot in the long run.

My ex step mother in law (gotta love extended families) fell off a camel while on vacation abroad. They told her she was fine. She ended up flying back early because of the pain. On arrival back in the US she had two rib fractures. Not a terrific thing to have on a 12 hour plane flight given the condition of her lung was unknown and pressure changes might not be the bestest of ideas. So yes, injuries can be misleading.

I’m feeling a bit more organized, and a bit dismayed at the amount of gear I still have after PIFing a bunch. Boxed up 30 mods I’m not using, emergency duplicate backups, and all but one mech. Second box is the boxes with parts for mods in rotation. Cleaned the tanks I’m not using to go back in their boxes. Tomorrow will be tank and parts storage. This should buy me a ton of space to better organize my diy supplies. Lord help the person who finds it all when I’m dead and gone. It looks like a tiny hoarding situation
